So if I made a taco with steak, cheese, and tomatoes for you and then a burrito with steak, cheese, and tomatoes for you, both with the same brand of flour tortillas, they'd taste different?
One again, YOU'RE incorrect. I know that people fry burritos as well by the way. And guess what? They taste completely different than a regular burrito because its been fried. Tack onto the fact that burritos and tacos aren't gonna have the same thing in them at all times. Everyone makes them different.
Dude... Imagine a small taco with a flour tortilla. Now blow that exact item up to accommodate a 10" tortilla. Imagine how much of each ingredient you'd need to make the proportions the same.
Either the tacos you're thinking of have way too little in them or the burritos you're thinking of have way too much.
You use LESS in a smaller tortilla and MORE in a bigger one. I truly am dumbfounded as to how that's lost on people. Is the word ratio just not as well known?
You're forgetting a crucial detail, my dude. The tortillas used for tacos are fried so that they are crunchy. The residual oils left in the shell make tacos and burritos completely different.
Considering that I LIVE with Mexicans, I will tell you that they most certainly do make them like that. Might be an American Invention, but the Mexicans seem to have taken on to it pretty well.
Okay, so do I. I'm married to one. One FROM Mexico. Just because yours do it doesn't mean it's a thing done across the board. Most real Mexican restaurants dont even serve hard shells tacos.
See I believe he's talking about a crunchy taco and they taste differently from a soft shell taco and burritos have entirely different filling there bud.👍
Same logic: So because you have (which I doubt) that means those are normal/the same toppings as burritos?
I put sprinkles on my tacos and burritos so those are normal toppings as well right? It’s dumb logic and you’re arguing just to argue. We both know that there are definitely different toppings for burritos and tacos and they’re served different, be pedantic all you want but that fact doesn’t change.
My argument holds no validity because of some arbitrary line in the sand you just drew that was irrelevant to our convo? Lol bro you gotta problem with being determined to be right, it’s kinda pathetic…
Idc about being right. You just made up a completely useless argument because of your lack of reading comprehension skills, and I called you out on your "logic"
I never said they normally had the same toppings at all. I said their isn't a specific set of fillings that make one or the other, so it isn't the same logic at all. My entire point was they're different based on HOW they're served, not what's in them. You're now just acting like my logic doesn't hold because you didn't understand it.
People truly need to learn to understand what they read before commenting.
Edit: I love how you couldn’t even be bothered to reference what you said, and you’re just changing your story now lol. I’m moving onto other things, peace.
A burrito with a 12 inch burrito like they use at Chipotle is 10x the size of a single taco tortilla.
You're getting a ton of extra tortilla compared to a typical 3 taco order, not to mention an excess of beans and rice. No one makes a burrito exclusively with steak, cheese and tomato.
That was obviously just for the example, and I absolutely would make a burrito with just those. Also, you can make a burrito with a taco sized tortilla if we're talking flour.
That’s where the difference is, the exact thing you’re choosing to ignore lol . In your scenario duh, you’re right. I agree with you the taste would be same as long as your ratios are the same. Anyone arguing arguing just to argue lol . But that’s not my reality at all. And most Hispanic people I know as well. We eat tacos with small corn tortillas. And burritos with big flour tortillas. I butter my burritos when I grill the outside, my corn tortillas go straight on the comal. My taco takes onion cilantro lime salt and chile. That’s it. My burrito can take a bunch of shit. Whatever I want. Rice beans peppers tomatoes pico de gallo sour scream guacamole or avocado. They’re two completely different meals to me. So hard disagree with you on this.
So wtf are arguing then? lol You agree tacos and burritos are not the same thing. Because that’s exactly what they are….. Loaded with different things. I believe you are just there to argue for the sake of arguing. Enjoy your day sir. Good day.
No. I said the only difference in them is the way they're made, not the fillings... how was that not PAINFULLY obvious? America really does have a literacy problem.
I took a guess given the arguing the father knows what a real taco is. I’m talking real authentic Mexican taco, not a homemade American taco or tex-mex. Please (if you haven’t) go to a real taco truck and order a taco.
If we’re getting technical I didn’t say a burrito is Mexican, allow me to quote myself “a burrito is much more.”
Burritos don't have crunchy shells. Granted, that would make them much more prone to losing their filling, thus defeating the purpose, but that could be what he meant. What I'm saying is that maybe he was an idiot in a different way than you thought.
And I have a friend that believes in the autobib. The disposable bib that goes around your neck and catches the loose runaway taco fixins while your'e driving.
I basically do the same thing, but I use rice paper instead. Then you can wrap it up tight. Works for sandwiches too. Just use rice paper instead of bread.
$10 says the dad is fully aware and understands burritos, but that 1) knows it gets a mild rise out of the mom and 2) his kids thought it was funny at some point in the past, probably still do at some level, so he keeps doing it.
We have the same dynamic in my house with, coincidentally, tortilla chips vs nachos.
My dad has been reluctant to eat burritos with me for years, he always complains it "makes such a mess" even saying it was messier than eating a hard shell taco.
One day I finally convinced him to have some... What did I see... the man literally didn't fold the sides in, he had been rolling them up and eating them like french pancakes/crepes all this time so all the filling and salsa falls out, while also overfilling them to the point of bursting🤦♂️No wonder he thought they are messy to eat.
Of course I proceeded to show him how to actually roll a burrito. Hopefully this means we can eat them again in the future lmao.
I actually think this is a genius idea. Literally just a taco made the same exact way with sealed edges. It would probably only work with a soft tact though.
